        My wife is after surgery, so i didn't tried file yet, but for sure will try today. As you mentioned, faster or later someone will ask "how did you do it".

        I asked because lot of people write "here is your patched file, and why tf you don't use autopatcher" even didn't knowing it is not working out in this model

          Sorry to hear your wife had surgery.
          I hope everything went well!

          And I hope when you saw the doctor after the surgery you've said "Thank you!" instead of "How did you do it?". I guess you know what I mean.

            volinakis - you are my hero. It worked out. This will work also for other A485 (i see people already downloaded it) or it need to be prepared exactly for each mobo? I partially see in HEX where changes was done, but i'm for now too weak to understand how it works. Just see this file vs autopatcher is far different. To be honest i have 1 more somwhere hidden in the box with ryzen 5 and other (just working mobo with pass) with ryzen 3..

            Vesko - thank you. She walk as a grandma now and have not funny facial expression (as she had something in her pants, if you know what i mean ) but will be OK.
            Just need to run after her like: pick this up, pick that up...

              I found the box with "do it in future" laptops. Here is another A485 Ryzen5 file if you are open to help more.
              I am also open to donate forum for each help or paypal if you're not happy to have too much free work

              Like i promissed i did few days ago 5USD donation as i sometimes spam with dumps

                That's not a bad idea at all. We're happy but, if not enough funds are raised to solve the problem with the server, the whole section may be closed and then i don't know where you will find a place to "spam with dumps".
                So go ahead do it now before it's too late.



                Your patched dump is below. Good luck:

                    Thank you, appreciate it.

                    I would like to take the opportunity to invite again all members to consider a donation.
                    All members should be aware that there is a real possibility this section of the forum to be closed because the volume of uploaded files is increasing every day, the number of members in it also, but only a few people donate.
                    Every day we delete files from the old threads in an attempt to save the situation, but this will not solve the matter. I urge everyone to be more active, everyone can afford a small donation, let more people get involved, only this will save us from the possibility of running out of space to store data on the server!

                              Hello!
                              I bought dead A485. Removed USB-C port that was shorted and now it has bios password.
                              I did take off the bios chip and read it.

                              Could anyone modify so I could remove password?

                                  I did the mod with autopatcher. Then soldered chip back. Followed the tutorial, it froze on going to bios screen. Soldered chip off and back to programmer. Programmed the previous unmodified dump and it then got to bios. (Y)

                                  Did also 10$ donation.

                                          Should I buy a Lenovo Thinkpad E495 with bios password?
                                          by RMDUiFT
                                          Good day. I apologize if I posted this in the wrong topic. I saw somebody selling a Thinkpad E495 with a Ryzen 3500U CPU near me. In the pictures the laptop is running windows 10. I contacted the seller and asked a few questions about upgradability and if it has a bios password on it. He confirmed it has a bios password. I searched through the forum, I found a guide regarding removing the bios password using the autopatcher, I also found a thread with the e495 where people requested help with unlocking the bios password.

                                          I have a few questions:
                                          • If I would buy this laptop and have

                                          Thinkpad P14s Gen 4, BIOS Supervisor Password
                                          by badzymandiaz
                                          I have a laptop that was purchased second-hand, and I am able to boot Windows on and extract the BIOS dump (ONLY the BIOS region, I was unable to dump anything else due to an FCERR I received trying to dump the other regions) and use normally. However, because the BIOS is locked with a supervisor password, I am unable to use anything else except for Windows, and it has also disabled some hardware features of the laptop itself, such as the fingerprinting module, etc. that I really do wish to use.

                                          I have been digging around for nearly 2 weeks trying to find any mention of the same model...

                                          Need Clean BIOS/EC Bin File for Lenovo ThinkPad Yoga 11e - Stuck with 0275 Error CMS

                                          Hello everyone,

                                          I am attempting a repair on a Lenovo ThinkPad Yoga 11e that is currently stuck at boot with the error: "0275 error CMS" even after setup new bios battery and will not allow me to enter the BIOS/Setup.

                                          This is a critical issue that I believe requires flashing the BIOS chip directly using a programmer (e.g., CH341A/RT809H), as standard software updates or resets are not possible.

                                          I have opened the laptop and identified the main BIOS chip...

                                          Summary of BIOS Whitelist Removal Problem


                                          Problem:
                                          I am attempting to remove the WWAN card whitelist from my Lenovo ThinkPad T560.
                                          Initial Findings:
                                          • My current BIOS version is N1KET58W (1.45).
                                          • I have a CH341A programmer and have successfully created two full backups of my BIOS.
                                          • I have the ability to use command-line tools on a Linux machine.
                                          Troubleshooting Steps & Conclusions:
                                          • I attempted to use several automated and manual patching methods on my N1KET58W (1.45) BIOS, including using hex strings. These attempts all failed.
                                          • I concluded that the
